Contestants in the Windy City blew away the judges with some impressive performances.
It was an emotional end to the two-night premiere of season 12 of American Idol.
Of the 9,000 contestants that turned out, a handful made a big impression on judges Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson.
